Is it more efficient to farm gear from hard nodes? For example I need mk5 stun guns and mk5 detonators. I can farm the guns and detonators from easy nodes for 10 energy each, or I can farm them from the same hard node while also getting character shards.
Granted, it will take longer to get the exact gear I want, but long run won't I end up gearing up more toons faster? Is that right or is my logic off?

I wouldn't rely on hard nodes to farm gear, but if you need the character go for it.
Hard Modes = Character Shards
Learn it, Love it, Live it
If there isn't multiple gear pieces or a character you'd like to farm anyways, no.
The benefit is the possibility of getting shards that you might need, or that will feed the shard shop if you already have them. The drawback is that you can only do it 3 times before the node needs to be refreshed. It's not a consistent source of gear you can spend all your daily energy+50 crystal refreshes each day. Also there is no node with both cuffs, and guns on it.
I just sim the normal 10 energy node for either cuffs or guns each day (minus 1-2 characters I'm hard farming). Then on hard node activity day I hit any that have 2 useful 50 piece purple gear items on them.
